Description Beth Flanagan 2011-02-16 14:13:51 UTC 
Issue: @e5e02f3cba1b gypsy was updated to use git, but the SRCREV remained at the SRCREV for svn. This caused the parser to hang with multiple zombie processes. We should look at better ways of dealing with this type of failure.

Reproduce: Change any SRCREV to an invalid REV and run bitbake on that target. Once the parser hangs, run ps -el| grep 'Z' from another terminal.

This is the same problem as explained in 707.
